Kirsten Jayne Black, Affiliate Director, EssenceMediacom

“I’m delighted to be involved with Affiliate North 2025 - an event that champions both innovation and inclusivity for affiliates within the wider performance marketing mix. Our industry has long been under-represented and overly London-centric, so it’s fantastic to see more regional events driving greater representation across the channel - particularly in developing future leaders. I’m really looking forward to the event and am excited to engage with a community that is committed to building a more connected, dynamic industry.”
